I really doubt if anybody hates Nutella. I have read through blogs of how much they love it, especially to lick it directly from the bottle to the mouth!!! It used to be like that for me in the beginning, but somehow maybe due to seeing it every time – I have a bottle always in stock, as my elder one loves having it with her toast and my B takes it like a tablet dose: 1 spoonful a day! – I’ve kind of lost the attachment to it. I feel that’s good, something that I can control!!! Today’s recipe is really quick fix when the kids are craving for something. Whenever, I am in no mood to search for a cupcake recipe to make, I just make it – it’s kind of engraved into my system now. And the kids just love it. It’s chocolaty and has the nutty flavor…

I don’t know whether I need to be excited but I think I should. I started this page with a lot of trepidation, but then I am so glad that I have received some good support from all of you out there, who have come and taken efforts to join the page, give comments and make me feel nice about wanting to post every single day!!! In my first post on this blog, I was hinting at posting every week, but because of the highly positive response I am receiving, I am posting almost everyday except my weekends!!! I am seriously humbled… Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your support. This is for all of you… Image courtesy: Google This is my post number 25, I mean a recipe post, not taking into account the first post I have done on this blog. Since…

I always feel that there will hardly anybody who hates chocolate, unless they have some deficiency!!! Wait a minute, just because I love anything chocolaty, it is not necessary that everybody has to love it, right? Right!!! I am one chocolate person. Anything with chocolate in it, I am game. That very well explains why I have never been able to stick to my diet resolutions. I control quite a bit, and then a big bar of chocolate laden with hazelnuts or almonds comes my way and my resolution goes the opposite way. 🙁 I seriously am searching for my long lost will power to lose weight. Thankfully, since mom is around with me, she’s holding me back from baking for the time being. This is a super duper easy brownie recipe, cooked (cannot say baked!!) in the microwave. When you are craving for something sweet or if…

Mug cake seems to be the say of the day. Yes, it is absolutely convenient. You crave for something sweet and you don’t want to share it – mug cake is the way forward! It can be whipped up in less than 5 minutes and dumped down even faster into your system! This mug cake was made sometime back when I was really craving to bake something, yet didn’t have much time in hand. You cannot say that you are baking a mug cake, you are actually microwaving it – both make quite a lot of difference! However, the final product being a cake, the satisfaction received is somewhat at par. Even though I would prefer at any point of time, to go through the whole procedure and wait for the beauties to come out of the oven done… 🙂 Recipe adapted from here Linking it to Chandrani’s Valentine event from…

I just came online not for posting anything, but then just saw that my page has passed 100 hits!!! Wow!!! Alhamdulillah, that makes me feel really happy. Thank you all who have been visiting and dropping in comments, it is certainly encouraging for me as a new blogger. Today the climate is awesome in Dubai, with some nice drizzle, but then I am stuck at home, thanks to my little one’s bout of flu. Another thing about today is that I have completed my certification course related to my profession, that I have been longing for, for quite some time and I am kind of sure that I will come out in flying colors. Let me dedicate this lovely cake to the great feeling of today. I had baked it while demonstrating the steaming of a cake in a cooker. I guess my picture doesn’t look that amazing, mainly…
